Slow play

Played with my wife Thursday and got behind a very slow looking for lost balls older foursome on the 3th hole, we were constantly waiting to tee off behind when there were nobody in front of them. They would not let us play through finally we decided to skip the 8th hole that they were on and go to the 9th hole. There were no Rangers on the course to speed play along! Payed good money to play this course and only played 17holes. Not impressed. Talked with another couple and the end of our game and they said they played around them as well! Rich

Pretty bad condition

The course was not in good condition. Fairways bare, greens unevenly cut and bumpy, tee boxes weedy. The clubhouse is beautiful but the course doesn’t match at all. To me, pretty much a waste of time.

Not as nice as the pictures

Back nine is pleasant. Front nine not as nice. Condition of fairways not too good. Very hard ground, bare spots. Most greens and tee boxes were ok but few were nice. There is a lot of sand in greens.

The pictures on their website look very plush and for the price this was not up to the image presented.

Not worth money

Had a good time meeting there with some old friends. Course layout was very nice, course co diction was aweful. Greens were not uniform. Patchy spots everywhere. Fairways were poor at best. All most bare sand. Do yourself a favor, and spend the couple extra bucks on a course that deserves your 50-60$.

As flat as you can get it

Since this is near the coast, I expected a level course. Didn't disappoint there. Fairly wide fairways keeps the ball in play off the tees, especially on the front 9. Grass is not thick, but it is February. Back 9 puts more water in play. Greens roll pretty good. Tee boxes a little torn up. Tees not marked well on some holes making you wonder where to play from. Overall a good track. Would play again.
